Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process discussed pertains to a call-off contract for the supply of electronic screening devices and associated maintenance and repair services, specifically the Draeger Roadside Alcohol Testing Devices. The buying organisation is The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police, located in Kidlington, UK. This contract falls under the industry category of Police Equipment and primarily addresses the provision of goods. The procurement has been completed and the contract was signed on 20 January 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, circumventing the typical publication of a call for competition, which was justified as falling outside the scope of the directive due to its specialised nature. The award was made to Draeger Safety UK Ltd, a large supplier based in Blyth, Northumberland.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in the supply of type-approved electronic devices, specifically those addressing public safety and law enforcement needs. Companies capable of providing high-quality maintenance and repair services, alongside the supply of critical screening equipment, stand to benefit from such contracts. SMEs operating within the public safety sector, particularly those offering innovative solutions aligned with stringent regulatory standards, could find lucrative opportunities in similar public procurements. As this was a direct award under a framework, businesses with established frameworks or relationships with public bodies are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
